no, just stupid because you do not read manuals nor know anything about
basic-commands and that is why you destroyed /dev/sdb1 if there were
data by overwrite the whole partition

/dev/sdb1 is now a blockwise copy of /dev/sd1

if you want a image you have to use "dd if=/deV7sda1 of=/path/filename.image"
